As we don’t put any chemicals in these pools, they do best with a sterile approach. Just two or three species of simple plants that make big, bold statements. Perhaps a few koi swimming around.

Formal ponds lend themselves for use as reflective features. Since they are still bodies of water, these ponds can mirror houses or lovely trees. In the past, we’ve dyed the water in some of these formal pools to stop algae growth and other pond issues.

"I think the any pond team love's the creepy crawly's more than me. The care and attention for the aquatic wildlife was our main concern. As in the past we have had some cow boys work for us. But I wanted to say we have had no problems at all. In fact the Any Pond Team were so professional and caring. Mark even set up a number of containers for all the different living things, as he did not want a war zone. I did not know there was so many different things living under the surface. You learn something new everyday."
